Picture this scene: It's evening in Hamburg. A man walks into a hotel bar during his business trip. He enters the bar which was next to the reception, walks beside other people enjoying their after-work drinks and sits down on an empty bar stool for one or two drinks before calling it a day. After a few minutes, a woman sits down next to him, smiles and askes if she could buy him the next drink. Feeling flattered, he agrees after insisting that the next round will be on him though.

I appreciate Marcus as project manager, agile coach and from his stories as enthusiastic father.
Last year he (not only) surprised me with the Manifesto for Human Leadership. Read more...
Kalauer zur Aufheiterung
Projektmanagement ist oft sehr ernst und pragmatisch, daher könnte etwas Humor nicht schaden, dieser Blog-Beitrag soll für Aufheiterung sorgen.
Etwas zur Geschichte des Kalauers. Es handelt sich um einen Witz, der kurz und in der Regel flach ist. Seine Herkunft hat er aus dem Ort Kalau, wo die Einwohner sich einen Spaß gemacht haben, eben solche Witze zu erzählen.
Ein Beispiel für einen Kalauer:
„Was ist die Steigerung für die Buchstabensuppe?“ Read more...
